We’ve been going through a LOT of shit lately. Issues with our car, our apartment AND both of our jobs. Through it all, we are smiling and exploring and loving each other. Having a partner who supports you and keeps your eyes pointed at the silver linings is a true blessing 🌺🙌🏻☁️

We love our kids but we also love time with just each other. I admit, we don’t do enough of it. Katie and I have gotten better after Charlotte was born, but before we had our second child, we couldn’t even imagine taking alone time to ourselves.
On this trip, we have had time alone and it’s been great! We have gone on walks, tide pooling, and lots of hot tubbing. The other day we had planned to go snorkeling but then we saw the hot tub and it sounded better. Lol. Now it’s just an addiction and every time we have time alone, we escape to the hot tub. Of course we talk about our kids as we sit and relax. Kids have made life better and whether we are with them or not, they are always on our mind.

At work on a snow day and wishing I was home with these two. As a SEVERE introvert (that’s a medical term; I’m sure of it), I have always needed alone time. And there are still days where I’m like “I’ll be in this room while you’re over there! Cool? Cool!” But most days, I just miss her all day because she’s my best friend and super cute. (To clarify: talking about @quinn_autumn not Rosie. I never need alone time from Rosie.)

REAL TALK.....Choosing Happy......
.

So this weekend gone was my birthday...Thank you guys all for the love and messages! I had a beautiful weekend with my person roadtripping and exploring and doing what we love best.. It was magical and happy and Katie went out of her way to make my weekend special. The weekend was also hard. Theres something strange about not hearing from your family over birthdays and Christmas - Something Im sure will get easier but I really struggled with it this weekend. And I let it get to me in a big way. First I was sad, then mad. All normal feelings Im sure. Choosing happy has not been something Ive always been good at doing. Its a super foreign concept to me. How can we choose to be happy when it can also be misconstrued as being selfish? Very recently, Ive learnt that in order to be happy, you have to be a little selfish if that means putting your happiness over that of those who dont agree with your lifestyle. And thats ok. I have an incredible chosen family. I want to surround myself with people who love and support me. I want to choose to be happy. Katie is the most patient, kind and caring human I have EVER met. Even when Im losing the plot over things I cant control. I will not let those things I cant control, control our happiness. Learn from these things. Let them help you grow. But CHOOSE to be happy. Choose to make yourself and your loved one a priority. Chose to be selfish. Chose you.

Do you sometimes tune out when “adulting” gets too hard?
One recent college grad recently confessed that he hadn’t elected into any of his employee benefits at the dream job he got in his field because “my dad takes care of that.” He was shocked to learn what he was missing out on!

Yes, adulting *is* hard, but a sound financial plan that includes retirement and insurance coverage (health, life, and disability insurance are all part of that plan) goes a long way to making sure that you don’t look back on your younger years and think, “Oh, why didn’t I start this sooner?” Plus, you don’t have to do it alone—that’s what insurance agents are for. They will sit down with you at no cost, or obligation, to discuss what you need and how to get coverage to fit your budget. But then, signing up—that IS on you. Don’t miss out.

As you grow, your perception on life and the plan you make for your future changes.
Seeking clarity for what you truly want in life and finding what it is your heart truly desires is an ongoing process.
Never stop reflecting and adjusting your plan. There is often something much larger out there for your life than you ever imagined before.

It’s worth it all if you believe it is.
Our relationship has never been tested more than when we decided to have our first child. The struggle of trying and failing, experiencing a miscarriage, and trying to keep it all together was far more challenging than we expected it would be. But, we never stopped fighting and came out on the other side with this precious miracle of ours. Whatever this next chapter brings us, we are blessed to have the love we share with each other and our little man. I can’t wait to bring more love into our family with baby number 2. #repost
